AnarchiStsl from beginning to end is
marked for extinction. Revolution is
| az httllN Ia NOlC0 lGiO u lc'is
why not begin to-nightFl "Again
say, arm yourselves for revolution.
Your arm is the bomb stronger than the
| Gatling gun or other weapons. 1t kills fifty
at once. Grinnell shall be the first, then
comes Gary, the Judges of the Supreme
Court of Illinois and the Judges of the
United States Supreme Court, and let not
Oglesby think he will escape because he
commuted two of them"
CLAUSE OF THE CODE.
| Mr.. Nicoll told the jury that the clause of
| the penal code, under which the indictment
was brought, provided that any assembly of
| three or more persons at which was threat
ened any unlawful act was an unlawful as
senbly, and the participants were guilty of
a misdemeanor. There would doubtless be
a great deal said about the constitution
and free speech, but the same
constitution provided that abuse of free
speech should be punished. Mr. NiColl said
his witnesses were Detectives Sachs Roth
and Samuel Dreyfuss, reporter for the
City Press Association, all of whom under
stood German and had made notes of the
meeting.
Col Fellows will sum up for the prosecu-
tion. Detective Roth was first to take the
witness stand. He told how he and his
brother officer were present at the meeting
in disguise, and gave detailed account of
what was said and done.
John j. Sachs, another detective, corrob-
grated Roth in full.
A REPORTER ON THE STAND.
Simon S. Dreyfuss, a reporter was next
called and on melton of Mr. Howe, all the
witnesses had to withdraw while his testi-
mony was taken About seventy-five went
out. This witness corroborated the other
witnesses substantially. A man had sat
next to him at the meeting who jumped up
saying "why not to-day; we're ready"
Most concluded by saying; Il am an
Anarchist. Rise Anarchy, long may it
live.n
The witness thought it time to get out,
which he did He did not take notes be
cause he did not want to be carried out
dead The witness did not suffer much I'M
der the severe cross-examination of Mr..
Howe.
Joseph c. Bruner, detective, was called
to testify concerning the book of Most's,
described as manual of revolutionary war
fare, to show what Most meant by the
| Anarchists weapon. The book could not
be allowed in evidence, so the witness was
excused.
Mr.. Nicoll here rested.
The court adjourned and the jury were
allowed to go home to their Thanksgiving
dinner.
Most was placed in custody of his counsel
